Ruoning Yin pushes two clear ahead of LA Open final round

Ruoning Yin carded a four-under-par 67 to grab the solo lead after three rounds of the DIO Implant LA Open on Saturday in California.

Yin sits at 14 under for the tournament, two shots in front of second-round co-leader Hyo Joo Kim, who shot 69 at Palos Verdes Golf Club.

Georgia Hall fired a 62 to vault 26 spots on moving day into solo third, four shots back at 10 under.

Danielle Kang leads a quartet of players in a tie for fourth at nine under.

Yin posted six birdies against two bogeys to earn the first 54-hole lead of her career.

"Feels pretty good actually, but I was a little struggling with my putting on the front nine," Yin said.

"After eight, which I made a bogey with a three-putt, I just told myself and I told my caddie, I said, 'We just got to trust the line and putt it. We'll make some putts.' "

Leona Maguire is well down the field in a tie for 65th after a third successive one-over-par 72.

The Cavan woman birdied the par-four fifth then dropped shots on eight and 13 in a card that featured 15 pars.
